Cavs: 2 realistic expectations for Yogi Ferrell during 10-day

Yogi Ferrell was signed via 10-day deal by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.

As Cleveland Cavaliers fans are well aware of at this point, the Wine and Gold have been dealt a pretty rough hand when it comes to injuries already this season.

Kevin Love (right calf strain/reaggravation) is still seemingly set to sidelined for a few weeks yet, Dylan Windler (left hand fracture) has been out since the first game of 2020-21, and Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) hasn’t appeared yet. And Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) hasn’t, either.

The guard group, as noted with Dellavedova/Porter’s lack of appearances thus far, is especially thin, though.

Most notably, Darius Garland (right shoulder sprain) has been sidelined in Cleveland’s past five games because of a right shoulder sprain, and Collin Sexton missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain.

Anyway, with Cleveland’s injury situation, as was reportedly set to be the case, the Cavs applied for a hardship exception, were granted that by the NBA, and per a report from Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor, signed Yogi Ferrell via 10-day deal. For more on the details involving the hardship exception, you can view those here and more on specifics, also pointed out by Fedor, here.

So what’s fair to expect to see from Ferrell during this 10-day stint for him with the Cavs, then?

We’ll hit on two realistic expectations for him for the Cavs here.

The first realistic expectation, from my perspective, is that Ferrell should be able to give the Cavaliers a perimeter/pick-and-roll scoring boost when he’s out there for them.
